3409. Are You Curious about What You Teach?
Non-native teachers
that teach English for example – or another language – have to maintain that
tongue alive and fresh. How? By reading books or e-books in that language plus
listening to a radio station on the Internet.
As well a learner of a second or
foreign language can learn and acquire it by reading and studying grammar books
and the linguistics of that tongue. I have a nice experience about that point. And
it has helped me a lot.
Also the learner can play with the language, read in
it, stop to think about it, more reading and studying, reading carefully, being
curious about points about English – or another language, etc.
Yet in the
classroom I advise you to teach with a communicative approach and methodology. English
is learned and acquired by communicating in that language. I also have a nice
experience about that point: my students can communicate in English because
they have spoken a lot in it. / Photo from: YouTube
